_ _ _ It's a strange walk, the [G#] bit that really matters is actually the bit before you walk [N] out of the dressing room into the corridor.
The bit that matters is looking in the mirror.
The only time I look in the mirror for the whole day is for about five seconds before we do that walk.
And we kind of look at each other. _ _
It makes you think about what you're about to do.
I think by the time you've started walking you kind of know.
_ Tonight was a bit different because me and Simon were talking about the set still.
_ Other times, like we're walking down the corridor, I'm in there weeping.
It's always different.
_ _ The walk is almost painfully [E] light-hearted actually.
I'm sure that's [G] true of a lot of [N] bands as well.
There's people looking at you and you're saying, like, yeah, and it's that.
And it's almost like you put up a defence.
It's funny, it's funny, it's funny.
And then you get to the bottom of the stairs, you walk up.
_ You walk up the stairs and pick up your instrument, which is actually the key.
It's those few seconds, and you look at the crowd, it's that bit.
That's when it gets real. _

[C#] I'll leave this with you. _
Underneath the star, the [B] light.
For 13 million years [E] to view.
This beautiful, [B] cloud [A] alone, tonight. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Underneath [E] the star, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] sitting around, around [C#] with you.
[D#] Watching [C#m] shadows melt, the [B] light.
Shining through our eyes, into another space.
This hour alone, [A] tonight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Watching shadows [E] melt. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] The waves break. _ _ _ _ _
_ The [A] _ waves _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ break.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] Whisper in my ear, a wish.
We could drift away.
Held tight, [B] your voice inside my head.
The kiss is infinite.
Without you [A] all alone. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Underneath [E] the star. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [A] The odds still to call.
_ There's [E] nothing to us.
_ [C#m] Together as one.
_ And each [F#m] other's all.
So near [A] and so far.
_ Together [C#m] as now.
_ _ [E] Underneath the star. _ _
[F#] The waves _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
break. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
